MOCK RICE-A-RONI CHICKEN FLAVORED RICE





If you grew up in the 70's and 80's and owned a tv ( who didn't?) you had to have heard this jingle . Disclaimer: Once you listen to this little jingle you will be singin' it all day--just sayin'! 

Growing up during these eras you probably would have had a box of Rice-A-Roni or two on the pantry shelf. We would gobble this stuff up! And I must say, when I became a new homemaker I used my fair share of this stuff too. I mean who cooked rice from scratch anymore? Seriously. 

Over the years, as I have tried to remove most processed foods from my families diet, I had to adapt some of those favs to a "healthy version". This is one of them. It's easyyyyyyyy, trust me here. Tastes 100 % better than the boxed stuff!  And costs a whoooooole lot less.

On to the recipe:   


Melt the butter til foamy then saute the rice and pasta.


Now add the broth and spices and stir well.


Bring to a boil then cover and turn the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes stirring in between. When broth is absorbed season with salt and serve hot. 



Please go right HERE to print a copy of the recipe. If you try it, come back and let me know how you made out:-)
